Saturday recipes including Asian Pork in the crockpot

I was out every day during the week, so I decided to stay home today.
One way to relieve the boredom of being home is by cooking.

BISQUICK COBBLER

2 tbsp. butter
1 c. Bisquick
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
3 c. cut up peaches or other fruit of your choice (can be fresh, frozen
(thawed) or canned)(I used a can of cherry pie filling)

Turn oven to 375°F.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 8 x 8 inch baking dish. Mix Bisquick, sugar, and milk. Pour over melted butter. Spoon fruit over. If using canned peaches, pour on some of the juice also.

Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS



Layered Salad (my own invention)

one can diced beets drained
put on bottom of clear glass bowl

one can Goya small white beans drained
spread over the beets

half bag of frozen peas, thawed
spread on top of the beans

one half red onion sliced thin
put over the peas

two small oranges peeled and sliced thin
(slice against "the grain"
put over the peas

I spooned lite Mayonnaise on top of this
sealing the edges

refrigerate for a few hours
then I put tiny pieces of raw Kale on the top

This was absolutely great........I think the oranges
are a necessity.

ideas for future salads: layer of chopped hard boiled egg
layer of hard cheese, cut into small chunks


BRAISED ASIAN PORK

1/4 cup soy sauce
one half cup brown sugar
half tsp. allspice
one inch piece of fresh ginger sliced
2.5 lb boneless pork shoulder cut into two inch pieces

stir the first four ingredients together in crockpot
brown the meat and then put in the pot
stir
about half way through cooking this I added
several whole pickled garlic cloves

seven to eight hours on low in the crockpot
SO TENDER and TASTY!
